The creators of “Framing Britney Spears” have announced their next documentary. It’ll be about the JANET JACKSON “wardrobe malfunction” at the 2004 Super Bowl. It’ll be interesting to see how they treat JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE’s role in this. After the Britney documentary, Justin issued an apology to both her AND Janet for “failing” them in the past. Justin saw almost ZERO repercussions for exposing Janet’s bejeweled right nipple during the Big Game . . . even though one of her stylists recently claimed it was his idea. There’s no word if either Janet or Justin will take part in the movie.
CHRISTIE BRINKLEY is still posting bikini photos at 67. Because SHE CAN. She’s also doing it for the older ladies out there. She says, “I post these pictures because I hear from women my age all the time that say, ‘Thank you for changing the way people think about the numbers.’ “I remember people thinking that after 30, you should never wear your hair past your shoulders or your hemline needed to hover your knee caps. I’ve always found those rules so limiting . . .”If you’ve got great legs, show them. If there’s something about yourself that you really love, celebrate that. Don’t be controlled by those numbers.”

Alex Rodriguez isn’t ready to move on from Jennifer Lopez just yet after the pair called off their engagement earlier this month. “A-Rod will not give up on his and J. Lo’s relationship,” a source tells Us Weekly exclusively. “He is willing to do anything to make it work.” The ex-MLB player, 45, and the singer/actress, 51, started dating in 2017 and got engaged two years later. However, the coronavirus pandemic forced the duo to put their wedding planning on pause. After previously shutting down split rumors in March, the twosome announced that they were officially going their separate ways. “We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” they said in a joint statement to the Today show on April 15. “We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.” Less than two weeks later, the two were spotted dining together at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles — reportedly the same place they had their first date in 2017. “A-Rod flew to L.A. on Thursday night to see her,” the source explains. “J. Lo still doesn’t trust A-Rod all the way. She’s very skeptical, but she heard him out because she still has a lot of love for him.” While J-Lo is not convinced yet” that she and her ex-fiancé can turn things around, the former New York Yankees star “is determined to win her back.” Before they called it quits, Lopez and Rodriguez attempted to work through their differences in couple’s counseling. However, J-Lo continued to have her doubts. She was always aware of the rumors of him cheating or him messaging other girls. You can say that for sure [that] played a part in why the engagement ended.
